The Colour is Red

Hi everyone. This is my last post for Yvonne's awesome challenge at Art Journal Journey. The challenge is Colour My World.

I can't believe the month is September is almost over. It flew. I must say we've had a lot of hot and humid weather this month, and humidity is not a favorite of mine, so I am glad we are suppose to get some cooler weather today.

But I'll be complaining about the cold soon I am sure. Ha-ha!

The end of September means we are already 1/8 of the way through the school year. Holy cow!

I am also going to link this page up to Try It On Tuesday. Their new challenge is clocks or time.

So my page is made on a piece of cardboard. I covered it with this red napkin I had. Then I added some leaves which I stenciled with molding paste. Once dry I painted them with some copper paint.

I also added a bit of gesso to the red napkin to give it a bit more depth, and that allowed me to added the stamped quote. I lightened it up here so you can read it better.

Finally I added the bits of the die cut clocks and the dapper man and his dog!
